I don't understand why this is such big news... my mom is a nurse, and if I'm to believe what she tells me then PEOPLE STICK THINGS UP THEIR ASSES ALL THE TIME.

Last story like this I saw came with the Xray. Fortunately the bulb base was facing out, and they removed it by screwing on a socket and pulling. posted by StickyCarpet at 1:12 PM on June 30, 2006

There's an image of the lightbulb inside the patient. I presume the headline is miswritten; the bulb looks stuck in his rectum, not his anus. Please, please don't put breakable or losable objects in your rectum. posted by Nelson at 1:16 PM on June 30, 2006

I've had light bulbs break in my with gentle handling. How do you cram a lightbulb up someone's ass (sans lube) without a) waking them up and b) breaking it in their butthole?

Like Robot Johnny's mom, I worked in a hospital once, and one of the radiologists had kept a film of a guy with a perfume bottle up the butt. He had been trying to put on his pants, and slipped and landed on his wife's dresser. posted by hamfisted at 2:26 PM on June 30, 2006

Put a telephone in your butt
Say, put some dust in your butt
Say "it's a must" in your butt
Say, pizza crust in your butt
Say, put a telephone in your butt
Put a dinosaur bone in your butt
Put a radiator in your butt
I'll say "see you later" in your butt
Put an alligator in your butt
Say, put some money in your butt
Sure feels real funny in your butt
Say, squeeze it, please it, but don't tease it
Put it in your butt
Well, let me just say
Put a hot cup of Brim
Fill it to the rim
And put it in your butt
To the beat

How many lightbulbs does it take to change an arsehole? posted by milkwood at 6:28 PM on June 30, 2006
My guess after being gang raped in prision, sticking a light bulb up his own ass was not that crazy.
Quote from Midnight Express (1978)
Billy Hayes: [voiceover] To the Turks, everything is "shurla burla", which means "like this, like that". You never know what will happen. All foreigners are "ayip", they're considered dirty. So is homosexuality, it's a big crime here, but most of them do it every chance they get. There are about thousand things that are "ayip", for instance, you can stab or shoot somebody below the waist but not above because that's intent to kill. So everyone runs around stabbing everyone else in the ass. That's what they call Turkish revenge. I know it must all sound crazy to you, but this place is crazy. posted by xtian at 8:15 PM on June 30, 2006
